Divorce is not the only circumstance in which litigation may be required to address child custody. Custody may also be determined in legitimation and paternity cases, modification actions, and other unique situations. Regardless of the type of custody matter, Oxendine Law can help guide you through the process.
Divorce – Most parents going through a divorce agree that their children are their top priority. They want to ensure their children have stable, supportive homes while maintaining strong relationships with both parents. However, determining the right custody arrangement is not as simple as alternating weeks.
Important decisions must be be made regarding each parent’s responsibilities, including who will make final decisions about the child’s medical care, education, and other essential needs. During the emotional challenges of divorce, making these critical decisions objectively can be difficult.
Our experienced child custody lawyers at Oxendine Law bring decades of combined experience in divorce and family law litigation. We are well-versed in the legal process of establishing custody agreements and are committed to helping families create solutions that support a safe and positive future for their children.
To begin your child custody case, schedule a consultation with our family lawyers in Gwinnett County.
Legitimation and Paternity – Legitimation and paternity cases establish the custodial relationship between parents and their children. However, these cases differ significantly from divorce proceedings for several reasons. If you are navigating a custody case as an unwed father or as the mother of a child born out of wedlock, we can help.
At Oxendine Law, we are committed to educating fathers about Georgia law. A father must file a legitimation action in Superior Court to obtain custodial rights. This is the only way to be recognized as a legal father. If you are an unwed parent, contact us today to ensure you are informed and prepared.
Modification – Custody and parenting time arrangements are generally modifiable until the child reaches the age of majority. However, specific legal criteria must be met to file a valid modification action.
Our experienced attorneys can assess your situation to determine whether a modification is appropriate and, if so, guide you through each step of the process. Contact us today to learn more.
Georgia’s Courts consider a variety of factors in every custody case, including:
It can be challenging to account for all of these factors in order to show that you are a strong custodian for your child. Our child custody lawyers can guide you through the process.
